Photo gallery Trick or treat: Olin House shows out for Halloween
With the promise of candy and perhaps a Bucky Badger sighting, trick-or-treaters thronged to Olin House on Monday evening to greet Chancellor Jennifer Mnookin and her husband, Professor Joshua Foa Dienstag, on their first Halloween in Madison. Members of the University of Wisconsin–Madison Spirit Squad were there, too, and even Plato the family dog lent a paw to the festivities.

Bucky Badger (or is that Albert Einstein?) was there, too, greeting trick-or-treaters and handing out candy.

The trick-or-treaters came by in droves, but there was no danger of running out of candy.
